Isaiah 51:9-23

91AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, putH3847 on strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LordH3068; AwakeH5782 as in the 2daysH3117 of oldH6924, the generationsH1755 of longH5769 agoH5769. 3Was it not You who cutH2672 RahabH7293 in piecesH2672, Who piercedH2490 the 4dragonH8577?10Was it not You who 5driedH2717 up the seaH3220, The watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; Who madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a pathwayH1870 For the 6redeemedH1350 to crossH5674 overH5674?11So the 7ransomedH6299 of the LordH3068 will returnH7725 And comeH935 with joyfulH7440 shoutingH7440 to ZionH6726, And 8everlastingH5769 joyH8057 will be on their headsH7218. They will obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057, And 9sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 will fleeH5127 away.

12“I, even I, am He who 10comfortsH5162 you. WhoH4310 are you that you are afraidH3372 of 11manH582 who diesH4191 And of the sonH1121 of manH120 who is madeH5414 12like grassH2682,13That you have 13forgottenH7911 the LordH3068 your MakerH6213, Who 14stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064 And laidH3245 the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, That you 15fearH6342 continuallyH8548 allH3605 dayH3117 long becauseH4480H6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, As he makesH3559 readyH3559 to destroyH7843? But whereH346 is the furyH2534 of the 16oppressorH6693? 14The 1718exileH6808 will soonH4116 be setH6605 freeH6605, and will not dieH4191 in the dungeonH7845, 19norH3808 will his breadH3899 be lackingH2637. 15For I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, who 20stirsH7280 up the seaH3220 and its wavesH1530 roarH1993 (the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034). 16I have 21putH7760 My wordsH1697 in your mouthH6310 and have 22coveredH3680 you with the shadowH6738 of My handH3027, to 2324establishH5193 the heavensH8064, to foundH3245 the earthH776, and to sayH559 to ZionH6726, ‘You are My peopleH5971.’”

1725RouseH5782 yourselfH5782! RouseH5782 yourselfH5782! AriseH6965, O JerusalemH3389, You whoH834 have 26drunkH8354 from the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 the cupH3563 of His angerH2534; The 27chaliceH3563H6907 of reelingH8653 you have 28drainedH4680 to the dregsH6907.18ThereH369 is 29noneH369 to guideH5095 her amongH4480 allH3605 the sonsH1121 she has borneH3205, NorH369 is thereH369 oneH369 to takeH2388 her by the handH3027 amongH4480 allH3605 the sonsH1121 she has rearedH1431.19TheseH2007 twoH8147 thingsH8147 have befallenH7122 you; WhoH4310 will mournH5110 for you? The 30devastationH7701 and destructionH7667, famineH7458 and swordH2719; HowH4310 shall I comfortH5162 you?20Your sonsH1121 have faintedH5968, They 31lieH7901 helpless at the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351, Like an 32antelopeH8377 in a netH4364, FullH4392 of the wrathH2534 of the LordH3068, The 33rebukeH1606 of your GodH430.

21ThereforeH3651, pleaseH4994 hearH8085 thisH2088, you 34afflictedH6041, Who are 35drunkH7937, but not with wineH3196:22ThusH3541 saysH559 your LordH136, the LordH3068, even your GodH430 Who 36contendsH7378 for His peopleH5971, “BeholdH2009, I have takenH3947 out of your handH3027 the 37cupH3563 of reelingH8653, The 38chaliceH3563H6907 of My angerH2534; You will neverH3808 drinkH8354 it againH3254.23I will 39putH7760 it into the handH3027 of your tormentorsH3013, WhoH834 have saidH559 to 40you, ‘41LieH7812 downH7812 that we may walkH5674 overH5674 you.’ You have even madeH7760 your backH1460 like the groundH776 And like the streetH2351 for those who walkH5674 overH5674 it.”
